Gannon won’t be the story

Former Raiders quarterback and CBS analyst Rich Gannon went straight from the elevator to the network booth in the press box and appears intent on reporting the story rather than being the story.

A member of a local radio crew attempted to get inside the booth to visit with a friend and was turned away. He was told only essential personnel were allowed and that they were on “high alert.”

Gannon was the target of public comments from a Raiders spokesman who said the club would attempt to ban the former Raiders MVP from a production meeting for “negative” comments. Gannon was eventually allowed to participate in the meetings.

Former Raiders running back Lamont Jordan had a friendly visit with some early-arriving fans in the Black Hole and walked along the railing shaking hands with Raiders fans. He also greeted Darrius Heyward-Bey, the Raiders first-round draft pick and like Jordan a Maryland alum.

Starting to force the deep ball again. That play was not there. Much higher percentage play going underneath to the back that was open. Cable, don’t do this. Don’t become who I thought you were before the season started.

Forced another one. I know you guys are going to blame Russell but it’s the playcalling. THOSE PLAYS ARE NOT THERE. Brady and Manning couldn’t pull these passes off. Denver was playing for that pass. The playcalling is awful.

Will you Russell defenders now just go the fk away? Man, this guy just absolutely sucks. This team is completely screwed until they get him off the field. Just makes me so fkn sick. Two out of the past three first rounders are worthless idiots taking up a ton of cap space.

Raiding Texas, we’re able to run the ball, but we’re not. We could have ran the ball on that very down. Why didn’t we? Why are you blaming Russell for the playcalling?

I agree that we need to pound the rock a little especially with bush but im sorry both those picks are on russell. I understand DHB fell but he had other options on that play that were safer, the 2nd one was just pathetic.

why should we not throw the ball Real MaddenRaider? Because our QB sucks?

We will never have a winning season again with this playcalling. We have the capability to be one of the best running teams in football. We can run the ball now. Our passing game is not developed yet. Yet, we’re still forcing balls downfield. Just retarded. I’m about to take back every good thing I’ve said about Cable this past week.

hey one more pick and russell will have completed more passes to the other team than his own, thats quite an accmplishment.

RaidingTexas

You’ll only be able to run the ball so many times before they load up the box and put that to an end.

And I blame Russell for LOCKING ON TO THE DAM RECEIVERS! My blind grandmother could see where he was going to throw that ball.
